I don't have any problem with a woman asking a man for a date. I like aggressive women.

next time bring him a towel and say may i dry you sir? That will definitely work.




OMG... ROFL... I noticed he was sweating a lot last night... and thought... I could go ask for a towel at the front desk and offer it too him... but then thought he might find it offensive.... that's too funny that you should mention this....

Well Search, here's how I see it... If you ask him out and he turns out to be "a turd" as strongbad would say, then at least you found out sooner rather than waiting, no harm done. But if he approached you originally, even if it was just to say "hi" then he is obviously interested, just maybe not sure if YOU would say yes... I say go for it




Well.. I'm thinking I'll leave the MP3 player behind for a few nights... that way when he speaks to me... and I speak back... it can leave room for more conversation... as my ears won't be plugged up and cause it to appear as if I'm not interested.

I need to take baby steps... last serious relationship I was in ... was not the best... almost caused me to never want to date again.




ouch, thats too bad search, but try not to let that stop you from finding someone else. Since theres more bad than good out there, you usually gotta meet a few bad ones before you find a good one... especially for you girls since many guys are just out for sex (not that there arent plenty of girls who are too, just not as many), but you can easily weed those out by just waiting to "put out" lol




Your right ThePaul... seems I'm finally letting go of the pain... and allowing others to have a chance... you poor guys... some of you just have to work extra hard to prove how great you are.

why don't you challenge him to a race... bet that would help bring on a conversation...




lol! This is how my husband got me to go out with him for the first time.




So it works on the female... wonder if it would work on the male...

I like aggressive to a certain point, like I have no problem with a girl asking me out... but I also think its cute when a girl is a little shy at first (not overly shy and doesnt talk though)

or you could tell him, "if you ask me out I will say yes", then you aren't asking him but you are showing availability in case he is interested.

I don't think that makes a woman look desperate. I think it makes them look confident.

I totally agree that there has to be a equal balance in their personalities... whether male or female... should be able to be agressive...yet know when too much is too much... know when to talk.. and when to be silent...etc...

believe me, if a guy is asked out by a girl he doesnt think "shes desperate", he thinks "damn I'm good" lol

No.. I just mean.. I don't want it to appear I'm desperate for attention and the such... as some people see it as a desperate attempt. I've no problems being aggressive when I need to be. Sometimes I think I'm too confident and cause the men to be stand-offish....

IMO this would be the only way to do this and actually sound a bit desperate lol... because its like saying you want to ask them out but you're not confident enough to do so, not to mention if they dont ask you out right after that it would lead to a REALLY awkward moment

FWIW, I actually agree with thepaul (I'm guessing b/c it's not a political thread, lol). The guy definitely seems interested and you have absolutely nothing to lose. Remember, no guts, no glory!

I'm glad to be getting a male's look on this... I've never been good at picking up on the hints.. and I've lost a lot of dates because of it... those that were at one time interested have told me later how they felt... and the truth was... I just thought we were all good friends...so I saw us nothing more than that...geesh... I've got to get better at picking up those hints.

Well here's the simple version: If the guy talks to you before you talk to him, he's interested
